I am a drama mama. I'll bet that doesn't surprise you! Not drama as in I like to stir up problems. Drama as in theatre. I have theatre experience, both acting and directing. I've play-written and written existing stories into plays. I've done costumes, hair, makeup, lighting, music and set design. From that I've created a series of method acting tips. Let's look at how to play sad scenes. Drama Mama's Acting Tips: the Convincing Sad Scene

I get really weepy when I think of New Orleans. That city has such joie de vivre, despite the sorrows it's endured. Treme was particularly hard hit by Hurricane Katrina. All around are reminders. Foliage sprouted from flood water still grows on some buildings, like modern Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The original Mahalia Jackson Theater for Performing Arts was drowned in 14 feet of water. A new theater opened in 2009. Some areas still await clean up. Others will never return. Here's more on Congo Square, jazz funerals, Mardi Gras Indians and all that makes NOLA so "very different from any other city I've been to" (says my world-traveled friend).

The Players Lament

If we shadows have offended,Think but this, and all is mended,That you have but slumber'd hereWhile these visions did appear.And this weak and idle theme,No more yielding but a dream,Gentles, do not reprehend:if you pardon, we will mend:And, as I am an honest Puck,If we have unearned luckNow to 'scape the serpent's tongue,We will make amends ere long;Else the Puck a liar call;So, good night unto you all.Give me your hands, if we be friends,And Robin shall restore amends.
